Senate Urges House to Pass Kids Online Safety Act
News summary

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), aimed at increasing children's digital safety and privacy, has passed the Senate but faces challenges in the House. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) has been vocal in urging the House to pass the bill, highlighting the tragic story of a 17-year-old who died from fentanyl poisoning after purchasing a counterfeit pill on Snapchat. KOSA would require social media platforms to implement stronger privacy settings for children and disable addictive features. Some House Republicans express concerns that the bill could lead to censorship and grant too much regulatory power to the Federal Trade Commission. Despite these concerns, supporters are pushing for a floor vote before the November election.
